Wanggu Waterfall Introduction

⚠ The area around the Wangu Waterfall is undergoing slope collapse and trail improvement work, and some sections of the Wangu viewing trail are closed (the route towards Lingjiao Liao Mountain Trail is unaffected). Please do not enter the closed areas for safety reasons. ⚠ Wangu Station is the quietest station on the Pingxi Branch Line. This area was once bustling due to coal mining, and the nearby Qinghe Suspension Bridge remains as a relic of the prosperous coal industry. To reach the Wangu Waterfall, you can follow the industrial road alongside the railway, ascend the wooden plank steps to the hillside trail, and arrive at the stream valley below. This location features a curtain-like waterfall formed by unique horizontal rock layers and differences in hardness, cascading down from the cliff top and creating a serene pool at the waterfall's base. The clear water reflects a jewel-like emerald green, making it a natural beauty spot for photos. Listening to the slow, tranquil sound of flowing water feels like stepping into a paradise away from the world.
